Turkey Picadillo Tostadas

[donotprint]I have been taking it easy these past days. For me taking it easy means cleaning the house from top to bottom which translates in less time spent in front of the computer and the kitchen. That’s why I have been cooking easy and quick meals. But that is not a bad thing at all, especially now that the temperatures are climbing and our lives are filling with a lot of activities that involve getting out of the house. This year I refuse to stay home gaining weight. This is a new season for me and I’ll try to make the best of it.

Here’s a recipe that is really easy to make and can be used for so many different meals. Picadillo is usually made with ground beef and served in tacos, empanadas, quesadillas or tostadas. There are many different ways to make picadillo. I might have forgotten or change some ingredients, but I think this is very close to how my mom prepares her picadillo. The main change is that I used ground turkey instead of beef.[/donotprint]

Although this dish was pretty close to my mom’s picadillo as I remember it, I think the turkey gives it a different flavor. I still like my mom’s better, but this one wasn’t bad at all, just different.
